&lt;p&gt;Opening a project from a python script given at the CODESYS command line does not work for me with a file based storage project.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Running projects.open("test.project", primary = True) works&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but converting the project to a file based storage project and then give the folder name as an argument to project.open&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Running projects.open("test.fbsproj", primary = True)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;does not work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We decided to work with file based storage for the project.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there a scripting API for file-based storage to e.g. convert it while running the script back or how to open file based storage project with projects.open?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary></entry></feed>
